1.9 Class Only
The comp will be limited to 1.9" sized rigs only, measured at the wheel bead.

- This class is for the typical street legal rigs, that you run off road. aka a daily driver / weekend wheeler, something you would drive to and from the trail.
- All Tires must be OEM 1.9" tires and un-modified. tire can be no larger than 4.4" tall.
- Reduced 2.2 tires are not allowed
- Track width can be NO more than 9.5"
- Flywheels brand wheels, CAC 2.0 wheels, 1/18 scale Nylint brand wheels and tires will be allowed.
- You must run a complete body, including bumpers, fenders, doors & tailgates. Slight fender trimming is allowed but the basic shape must be retained, Fenders may be cut, or flat fendered, but it must resemble a 1:1 rig you'd see on the street. If you remove the tailgate, you must have a complete floor and drop bed. If you want to remove your doors, you must run a full interior. "Iffy" Vehicles must be approved by the Scale Committee members.
- A shortened or lengthened body is allowable. A tubed bed must have a Functional bed area capable of carrying a full-size spare laid flat (rear fender and tailgate rules do not apply to tubed beds).
- No 4 wheel steer or rear steer at all ! If you have more than 2 axles, the FRONT axles are the ONLY ones that can steer.

- A body larger than 1/8th scale is not permited.
- Wheelbase is limited only by your body, and tires must fit/ be centered in your fender wells.
- Doved nosed bodies are allowed, but bed must remain full width, but can be bobed/shortened a max of 1"
- Vehicle must have a frame-railed chassis. Tubed frame rails are ok.
-Chassis Rails must extend over the axle. Frame extentions are not permited.
- Vehicle battery must be mounted on the chassis. Mounting the battery above the steering servo/axle/upper links is not permitted. The goal is to place the battery where it is not visible for a more scale appearance.
- You may add weight to your wheels, but you are only allowed a maximum of 12 total oz's. You can put it in whichever wheels you want, but 12 oz is the total.
- MOA axle's are not permitted.
- 1 rig/entry per driver, same rig cannot be used by multiple drivers.

If you feel your rig is borderline, be prepared to modify it if it does not pass tech inspection. AND/ OR bring a BACKUP rig just incase.

Tubers: If you plan to run a tuber, It must have a full interior, 2 front seats SIDE BY SIDE, a dash, a steering wheel, a hood panel, a roof panel and a left and right side panel. If it is a jeep, it needs to resemble a jeep. The minimum size for the tubers is as follows:

Height 5 " , measured from bottom of skid pan to the roof top
Width 5 " , measured from the middle of the door bars, side to side
length 14" , this does NOT include bumpers or stingers, just the chassis

NOTE: this does not apply if you have a truggy or back halfed truck with a conventional frame and cab.

Point System: Competition will follow USRCCA rules, other than time and max points, we plan to run 1-2 LONG comp courses, and free for all trail run after.
On the comp courses there will be no time limit, however +1 point penalty will be assessed for every 5 minutes used. (ie, if it takes you 22:47 to complete the course, you will be assessed +4 points) Also, max points per course is 80.

There will points deducted for these scale items, these will happen at tech inspection and be deducted from your final TOTAL score at the end of the day. Max deduct points per rig is 25.

[obijuan]

shit shit shit.... whos driving up from SA??? i will SO front your fuel!!

[sgtsteve]

Cory, do you know if the course is going to have deeper water tomorrow since all the rain we had this week? Just trying to determine if I need to waterproof my stuff tonight.

[STANG KILLA SS]

if it is deeper, ill try to avoid it. plans are for only axle nut deep water in the course if any. i only splash proofed mine. i didnt waterproof it. (ie i did slide a balloon over my esc and RX but more for organization rather than water, i didnt seal the end.

good news forecast has lifted, were a go! only isolated showers pridicted late saterday! woot! SO much to do today. leaveing work at noon to get everything done, and then gonna hit the comp site at about 7am to get everything ready.

[sgtsteve]

Awesome Cory, cant wait.

[Locked Up]

what time does this start?

[scalerfreak]

i think i may show up guys, not competing or running, just wanna hang out and catch up with you fellas

[STANG KILLA SS]

ok fellas.
i took the afternoon off work to get everything done for tommorrow.
i went out to the comp site and got the course set up. took me about an hour i guess. its quite long. 2 water crossings both less than axle nut deep, and two bridges. not sure how long it will take to complete the marithon course. but if theres time well run it backwards as well. or maybe have one of you guys set up another course with any extra tennis balls we have. bring some if you have them fellas, i dont even have enough for the main course. shoot i wish i would have counted how may gates there were. its up to time and you guys what we want to do for a second course.
free-for-all trail ride will be after
*i would highly recomend everyone bring plenty of fluids to drink and a sweat towel.* the combination of rediculous humidity and 80* temps wasnt pleasant, i think i lost 5 lbs lol. but i was moving rocks and running around so just standing around tommorrow it might not be as bad.

patrick you still up for scoring? id sure like to do alot of filming.

show up at 9 for tech in and scale parts scoring, comp starts at 10.

see you guys in the morning! im stoked!
